MATHS

grade: A


Ashton is a very capable Mathematics student who applied himself to his learning and completed his practice work. He has demonstrated an excellent understanding in all areas this semester, working to a high level during class time on the more advanced problems related to each topic. In Term 1, Ashton was able to perform calculations of mean, median, mode, range and standard deviation to analyse data sets represented in both numerical and graphical form. In his Bivariate Data Report, Ashton provided a good analysis of the world record times for running the 1500m. He performed his own investigation into how the concentration of sodium hydroxide affects the speed at which aluminium dissolves. He interpreted his results in a clear and accurate discussion. In the half-yearly exam, Ashton displayed an excellent understanding in all areas studied this semester, achieving a pleasing result of 98%. Ashton has a positive attitude to his learning, and I look forward to seeing his progress in Semester 2.

Additional Information

Thank you so much for considering me for a position at Lollies 'n' Sweets! While a role with you would be my first in retail, I have a skill set that is perfect for the job! I love public speaking and connecting with people. I have a friendly and helpful attitude that will suit a customer service role. I have a knack for bringing a good energy to events and have been known to be a bit of a "sales man" when rallying students to get involved in extra curricular activities at school! I'm a fast learner and as my report cards show, I work hard to achieve goals in front of me. My experience growing up around film making and making music has put me into the workforce younger than most! I have learned how to work well within a team as well as deliver tasks needed on time as directed. I am great with lists and constructive feedback and love to exceed expectations.


But the thing I think matters the most in your business is my friendly personality and sense of humour that I hope will help make Lollies 'n' Sweets a positive experience for other staff members and customers.


As a long time customer of Lollies 'n' Sweets, I have wanted to work there since the first time I walked in the door. I'd love to be a part of the team at The Entrance store.
